Switching FX on the same track

[sramsay]

I've been using REAPER for a couple of years, but this feels like a n00b problem and I can't figure it out.

Let's say I have 80 bars of music. What I want to do is switch FX plugins every twenty bars. How do I turn effects on and off?

Every plug-in has a Bypass and Dry/Wet parameter assigned to it by Reaper. You can automate either of those.

Bypass On/Off will give you an instant change - and maybe a click or pop.

Automating a change from 100% Wet to 100%Dry or vice versa will give you a smoother change.

Sorry to be so daft, but where is that? I don't see anything like that in trim controls . . .

Nevermind! I figured it out. The Param button on the FX panel does the trick.

Thanks for the reply!
